"What an emotionally affecting issue this was"
"This is a book that genuinely made me have feelings, constantly, consistently throughout it."
[Morazzo] pulls it off in a way that isn't exploitative, but is confronting."
"It's such a special comic and I'm so, so thrilled that we're getting more"
"This absolutely puts Karen Berger's imprint on the map in a big way"
Andrew Levins and Siobhan Coombs - Serious Issues Episode 135
Previously on She Could Fly -
#1 we learned about Luna's obsession with the flying woman, that Luna has horrible intrusive thoughts, and that the flying woman exploded
#2 we saw Luna struggling with, but still beating her intrusive thoughts, finding out the name of the flying woman and where she worked, and talking to one of the flying woman's co workers. Then at the end, Luna's story and the story of the physicist who was working on the same project as the flying woman crossed over with them all in Luna's basement.
#3Luna found the diary of the Flying Woman, Luna revealed her problem to Verna her counsellor confronted the Physicist and Verna, the physicist was kidnapped by one set of government goons and the baddies got closer to getting the Flying woman's technology. The issue ended with Verna arriving at Luna's kitchen.

Luna explains that they met on a message board for that Flying woman, and after the popping toaster gives Verna the fright of her life, Luna's family leave the two of them alone


Then one set of baddies arrive and Luna's family are in the cellar when the second set of baddies appear. There follows an scene of outstanding violence and exceptional brutality as well as excellent pacing and use of different panel layouts.

I really love a good beat panel.
And of course, the violence has a profound effect on Luna (dialogue removed to avoid spoilers)

She Could Fly will return in 2019
